Very neat and detailed 😍 I started my journey 3weeks ago with mini braids but I plan to interlock my roots once it’s time. You made my decision to use 2pt rotation so much easier!! Looks quicker and just the same as the other rotations thank you 😊 and GREAT JOB ❤️😎👍🏾
This is exactly what I did. I'm almost a month in but I think I should go ahead and interlock because my braids have grown out so much. How did it turn out for you?
Thank you sm. I’m on month six of my starters and a retwist doesn’t last more than a week with my hair type, even with going to professionals, after seeing this video and seeing how long you’ve went in between I think interlocking is my way to go
I’m brand new on this journey. I’ve watched a great deal of your videos, and they help me decide to quit procrastinating. I’ve still been trying to learn more about interlocking. Thank you for this video. I was also worried about loose hairs, and I’m glad you covered that as well!
THANK YOU!! for posting this. I didn't know this tool even exist. I've been using a safety pin for my daughters hair, and it often gets tangled. This is a life saver. Hugs!
This was the BEST video. I thought you always had to do a 4 point rotation which was a little difficult but the east/west and north/south rotation has me zooming through my hair. THANK YOU
I just did mine today with a tool like this. It's been great. But you said it's been 4 months. -what do you do in between to keep the hair from sharing between dreads? Mine does that so often.
Great video! I had my first round of interlocking at the salon this week and it was a disaster. So I’m thinking of doing it myself next time. How often do you interlock you hair? What maintenance do you do in between?
Sherisse Blenman If you place your finger in the new growth, you’ll see a gap at either the side or the top of the new grown hair. That gap indicates the last entry point.
K Cooley I haven’t started interlocking yet. I am just going on month 2 of having locs. I plan on interlocking before my 3 month loc anniversary. I want to do the 2 point rotation because it looks simple and that is what usually works for me. My plan is to feel the root every time I do a rotation so that I can try and be able to know where I left off but I’m not going to lie I am worried I might mess up and put holes in my locs. 😩 I am just trying to do as much research as possible to build my confidence. Thank you so much for the information it is truly appreciated!!
OK. I've been trying to figure out how to find out where I interlocked last. If I'm right, if the new growth in the root is flat then north was my last position. If it's more vertical then it's from the side. I hope that makes sense.
Yep!!!’ You are absolutely correct. I was worried you all wouldn’t be able to follow along because it’s kind of hard for me to explain unless you have interlocked before but yes, you are right!!!🤗
I like to take my time and wrap the fly aways around the loc. After I have wrapped the loose hairs around the loc, I interlock it to secure it in place. This has really helped me especially at the crown of my head and along my edges where the hair is a looser texture. They always seems to stick out like a baby bang 😂and its sooooo annoying! but that what works for me. If you give it a try, let me know how it works out!
I hve the biggest case of loc envy or loc love for your locs!! 😍😍I decided last month after watching nearly ALL your loc journey videos that I wanted to loc my hair in the same matter as yours.. I hvent yet😬🤷🏽♀️ bc I can’t figure out a few things.. 1) How in the world did you get your parts soooo straight?? (Bc my OCD wont let me be great when it comes to parting in the back🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️) 2) How did you section your hair when starting your locs (didn’t see detailed info on it in any of your videos) Right now, I hve a tapered cut & I wanna keep my undercut & loc the rest BUT I also hve a nice patch of hair missing on the crown of my head bc of my lupus & an allergic reaction to synthetic hair (I believe). Soooo could you share some tips on how you sectioned your hair, How you keep your parts soooo straight when starting & retightening your locs. Anddddd, maybe if you have some tips on how to conceal thinning or bald spots, that’ll be GREAT!! Ok, I think that’s it 😂 I’m stepping away from the mic 🎤 now 😂👋🏽👋🏽Take care!!
This is a great video! How many months into your loc journey were you when this was recorded? And did you start with coils, two strand twists or braids? Thank you!
I would LOVE to interlock, but I can't get used to the knots that it leaves in the locs. BUT, it'd suit my hair better than retwisting, cause my locs are thick. Nice locs by the way!
@@thehobbymommy1711 Yes it will be. Hers isnt because she been interlocking. I'm 4 months in and I've been retwisting so I'm nervous to start interlocking.
Omg your locs was soooo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ I just looked at your other videos as see that you cut them, either way you’re still beautiful. I just would like to know how many locs did you have?
Lemme try and help you out: SL cost you MUCHO money (installation /maintenance). Some SL locticians charge by the 1/2 to the hour and if you've got some length during the installation it's going to cost you more to install. You have to sit in somebody's chair in somebody's house (not many in a salon) for hours having them do your hair. I know 'cause I've been there and done that. These DIY twists? Cost you nothing but your time.
You and your locs are lovely! Just the size I would like- how did you start yours? I thought interlocks was combining two or more locs! I'm researching before I start mine. I like your method of interlocing best.
Just started my locs on Christmas Eve with 2 strand twists. I think I will my make my bottom 3-4 rows a little smaller because this journey was impromptu and I made those rows slightly bigger than the rest, but I’ve been stuck between interlocking and retwisting.. I’m leaning more to interlocking because it just seems like it would last longer and I like washing my hair once a week because of my scalp
What is the normal amount of time that you go between interlocing? I just started interlocking my locs last month (use to palm roll), I'm just trying to decide how long imma go in between retighten
My mother is threatening to carry me to a salon ( some salon people act like my hair isnt attached to my person) to do my hair cause she tired of doing mine. So your video is a big help.
NATASHA TERRY STEINER did the same thing yesterday. Mine are only 4 months old so I just combed them both out and used a crochet needle to make both instant locs all over again.
I have a question, my first two retwist with my stylist started with interlocking my hair, should I always start with interlocking or can I retwist it also myself with a palm roll?
Hey Kaila ! I've been loced since 5 months now and interlocked 3 times since. The problem is before interlocking (did it myself) I didn't watch any video on how to properly do it, and I've noticed that I created holes in a few and I don't know what to do about it 😥. Do you have any tips or advices for me please ? I'm actually scared that I've damaged them 😥
Hey!!! I’m glad to hear you have been maintaining your locs yourself. Interlocking in the beginning can be tough. I too have a few holes in some of my locs. My advice to you would be next time you interlock, pay close attention to the direction you last interlocked each loc ( I show how to determine that in the video) this will lessen the chances of damaging your locs. A few holes here and there is nothing to be worried about. Our hair is pretty resilient. But if the start to look weak or damage, then I would worry! Best of luck to you😊
@@KailaJ thank you very much for your response! I am feeling much better 😅 and I will sure follow your method the next time I interlock my hair. And also your locs are super gorgeous ! love your channel 💋
Try not to go directly into the same space over and over when you re-ti. This is what creates the hole. Try to place your tool in another place each and every time that you do your pattern. It's a small adjustment but one that allows you to eliminate the holes which over time weaken your loc.
If you always finish your 2 point rotation (the last rotation) with the hair pointing down then you know to start your re-ti the next time going side then down. Always end in the same direction on every loc. Always start your re-ti in the same direction on every loc.
@@butyoucancallmesam It's a shorten version of "re- tighten or re- tightening " used very frequently when you do not want constantly type the entire word out.
I’m starting mine over but my city is trash and the only person i can trust with my hair starts with interlocking I’ve tried it before and i jus can’t make myself love it! You can tell its been interlocked... And I can’t get my hair exactly how i want it doing it alone!!! 😫
How often do you interlock? And does interlocking often break your hair? It’s been 2.5 months since my retwist. Some locs are already budding and some are not and have unraveled 😩😫
For people who are just starting locs the terminology of 2 or 3point rotation and the north and south east west thing doesn’t make sense. Do you have any beginner friendly ones with explanations of what exactly you’re talking about, what the tool is called, and like extremely beginner content?
Interlocking allows the loc to stay retightened longer. Im considering this due to the fact that I want to be able to swim and workout without needing a retightening after each physical activity. You can go 3-4 monthe off of an interlocked retightening vs a few weeks off a traditional palm roll.
😍😍 You did a really good job I need to stop being lazy and save my money interlocking myself
There is a trick to it got to be careful, sometimes locking can cause damage and thinning of the root.
I like the fullness the 2 point rotation gives you. Very nice.
Same and it’s harder for me to remember

How did it work out for you ? I have the palm roll method locs and wanna transition to interlocking to save $$ !!

Don't pay someone to destroy your hair! You can give it TLC- most others just care about the $$.
Yeap I feel your pain I’m going through the same disaster

Just feel. I was wondering the same thing until interlocked mine last night.
Thanks for the clarity. I am being paranoid though. Just making sure, where you feel the hole, that’s not where you start?
Yoir hair is BEAUTIFUL....They look REALLY good! Im 4 weeks in...loving this journey so far!
GREAT VIDEO!! I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! I started my loc journey almost three weeks ago, very excited and ready to see the budding!!
Just did my interlocking last night and I’m super satisfied with the results ❤️. Thank you so much

I'm having issues with trying to se what side an individual lock was interlocked . Any tips ?
Oooh. I see. Big thanks to both of you. This comment. And the video.
Your locs are awesome 💜. I have lots of fly aways at my root, but when I interloc myself it doesn't look as neat. What can I do?

Yayy!! The video I been waiting on. Greatly appreciated!
You’re welcome 😉
Your hair looks sooo healthy and thick!

Have you always did the 2 point rotation? Do you have an issue with the "Y" at the root?
What a beautiful woman with a beautiful set of locs😍
Great video, this is exactly how I interlocked my locs and I love it! +1 Sub
3 months wow! Your locs look so neat. During the 3 months, what was your maintenance?
Wash every two weeks, moisturize and seperate my locs!
@@KailaJ What do you moisturize with?
This was amazing! You have some great teaching skills! I'm saving me some money and learning this myself! Thanks!!! :)
Great video very informative! When you say feel for the last direction what are we exactly looking for ? Lol hopefully my questions makes sense
I didn't even watch the video yet but what I do know is your hair is BOMB!!!
They look amazing and so full and healthy
When you interlock do you push the interlocking needle through at your root or at the top of the new growth next to the loc’d hair
I’ve read close to the loc’d hair so that there isn’t holes created (also did it close to root and it indeed left a hole smh)
This is a great video! How many months into your loc journey were you when this was recorded? And did you start with coils, two strand twists or braids? Thank you!
I would LOVE to interlock, but I can't get used to the knots that it leaves in the locs. BUT, it'd suit my hair better than retwisting, cause my locs are thick. Nice locs by the way!

How do you deal with the knots? Like are your locs bumpy and thinner where you interlock?
@@thehobbymommy1711 Yes it will be. Hers isnt because she been interlocking. I'm 4 months in and I've been retwisting so I'm nervous to start interlocking.
@@DivineSoul999 I have the same issue !
@@TwerkinnPandaaa I started interlocking. My hair is doing great. April 30th will be 2 years for my locs. 🎉
Nice 😊 what are some of the hair products you use?
i love the way they turned out ✨🧚🏿
U got a lot of bunching in your locs. It looks beautiful
Your hair is so lovely I wish I could do my hair that way

I have to do mine once a mo new growth is out of control for me I have 300 micro locs
Beautiful. Even though you interlock do the locs plump up some after a while? That's my only hesitation when I think about interlocking.
yes they do plump up after some time. Eventually the locs will be the same size!
Fabulous work now u got me thinking about interlocking♾loc'D ✌✌💜💜
How do you know what direction you went last?
Great job and you look nice btw this length is everything.
You and your locs are lovely! Just the size I would like- how did you start yours? I thought interlocks was combining two or more locs! I'm researching before I start mine. I like your method of interlocing best.

Jessica B. Start off with two strand twists.
Hey hun, Do you think this rotation would work well with smaller locs?
Yes I think this rotation would be great for any size locs😊
Kaila J Thanks Hun been researching all night 💛
So when you interloc them is it still necessary to retwist? Or does this method replace the retwisting every 3 weeks?
after you’ve done this do you have to undo or it will grow out? sorry if the question is stupid?
No question is stupid but no you do not have to undo it. The new hair that grows out will also be interlocked and the process will be continued
Kaila J thank you so much!
Wowww. Where can I buy the needle you are using to interlock? I need one.
Beautiful Locs.
Great Video.
I Like the 2 Point rotation also.
I have that tool.
Try a safety pen.
It is so much easier.
Did you start your locs with 2 strand twists?
Great video. You locs are gorgeous!
How can you tell the last direction you went? Does it feel different and is that noticeable?
I just started my locs yesterday
Can you come these out? Also, if you start with interlocks can you palm twist them when they grow out.
Hello, I was wondering do u spray your hair or oil before ir during your retie?
How short were you when you first started interlocking your hair?
Do you have a vedio of when you first started your loc journey
Unfortunately no😔
Did you start your Loc journey with interlock locs?
Did you always inner lock on dry hair ?
I have always interlocked but I interlock on wet hair!
How do I know what direction to start my daughter's interlocks. And I notice you didn't use any kind of locking gel or wax
How long did that take? Don’t know if my arms would cope...😳, also my locs are almost touching my butt!
It may seem like a strange question but does interlocking take away inches off the length of the hair?
Your dreads look good how often do you do them ?
How can you tell which direction you last interlocked by just feeling the loc?
How often do you interlock? And does interlocking often break your hair? It’s been 2.5 months since my retwist. Some locs are already budding and some are not and have unraveled 😩😫
I was interlocking every 2-3 months
Can you interlock with larger locs?
I want to transition my daughter from palm roll to interlock. Her roots get pretty thick. Do you do this dry? Should use a product to tame tame first?
She only sprayed hers with water
what if i chose to not interlock my hair ? or just keep going with the crochet everytime it grows ?
For people who are just starting locs the terminology of 2 or 3point rotation and the north and south east west thing doesn’t make sense. Do you have any beginner friendly ones with explanations of what exactly you’re talking about, what the tool is called, and like extremely beginner content?
How long did it take to get this length
do your locs still grow tho and get longer ?
Your hair looks amazing
that was so so very helpful
Do you offer this service and where are you ...i in UK...my son and i want this method...?
Greetings
I loved the video but...
What Whitney Song was THAT???
Where do I find the tool you’re using?
Hello, I love your locs. I would like to purchase a tool. Where can I get it from?
Tawana Collins Amazon has them! Just look up interlocking tool/ loc needle
Is Interlocking healthy for your hair
Please link the interlocking tool in the description box or just reply to my comment. I need 1 please n thank you
Do you wrap your locs
Oh my god shes beautiful 😍😍
Thank you!
How long did it take to complete?
About how many locs do u have ?
Is 300$ a good Price to pay for interlocks like already dreaded
Can I use interlock method before the locks are actually locked v
Yes
How did you start your locs?
I've been growing my dreads for 4 years just by twist. What's the purpose for the interlock?
Interlocking allows the loc to stay retightened longer. Im considering this due to the fact that I want to be able to swim and workout without needing a retightening after each physical activity. You can go 3-4 monthe off of an interlocked retightening vs a few weeks off a traditional palm roll.
